The CW 9 does not have removable grips like some others. Does anyone know of a product that can slip on or stick on and widen the grip by about 1/8"?

The easiest way to get a 1/4" wider grip is to buy a Glock 19. Plus you'll get an extra 8 rounds in it.


With that out of the way:

You can try forming your own grip panels out of wood, plastic, or rubber then glue them in place with silicone,
slip a section of bicycle inner tube over everything to make it look nice, keep it more secure,
and give yourself a good grip.


Honestly, I only have a CW9 because it is incredibly thin.

Sorry meant 1/8" total. I tried the G26, not for me.

isnt the slimness of the kahr's the atraction? it is for me. i shot a k9 yesterday and have a cw9 due in beginning of net week. if i were to carry one of my glocks it would be my 17 and i do but with needing somthing more concelable im looking foward to the kahr. They are carry guns that we practice with but dont need to put 1000 rounds out a week through them.

Hogue and Pachmayr make rubber sleeves for pistols. You could also use a section of bicycle innertube.

DecalGrip & TractionGrip makes die cut stick on panels in rubber or sand finish. I have the rubber DecalGrips on my PM9 and Traction Grips on my Glock 19 & CW9 and they do improve the grip.

I have shot a few CW9's with the Hogue slip-on grip and it makes a huge difference.

For the utmost in concealability the Kahr wins but the Block has the edge in firepower.
